Document background
A Letter Of Intent Will is utilized in Danish estate planning when an individual wishes to formally document their preliminary intentions regarding their future will, without creating the will itself. This document type is particularly useful during the estate planning process as it helps structure discussions with legal advisors and provides a clear framework for the eventual will creation. The document typically includes information about intended beneficiaries, asset distribution plans, and specific wishes regarding the estate, while acknowledging Danish forced heirship rules and other legal requirements. While not legally binding in terms of asset distribution, it serves as an important planning tool and can help prevent misunderstandings about the testator's intentions. This document is especially valuable in complex estate situations or when the testator wants to document their current intentions while finalizing their formal will arrangements.
